Vintage Jean-Paul GAULTIER 56 9172

Introducing the Jean-Paul Gaultier 56-9172 Vintage Sunglasses, meticulously crafted in Japan during the 1980s. This rare find features a unique design with grey main lenses flanked by dark blue lens side shields, reminiscent of 1930s motorcycle goggles but reimagined through Gaultier’s visionary design perspective. The frame is a polished blend of silver and titanium, underscoring exquisite craftsmanship.

Expertly restored to showcase its inherent quality, the frame has been polished to renew its original luster. The sunglasses retain their original nose pads and lenses, which, despite minimal signs of wear that barely impact vision, testify to the item’s vintage authenticity. Jean-Paul Gaultier’s decision to produce these sunglasses in Japan, known for its superior eyewear craftsmanship, reflects his dedication to quality and his hands-on approach to design and production. Sunglasses are missing the original case, but I can include a high end Tom Ford Case.
